Sooooooo, Saturday evening, after dinner, I'm making a coffee in the Press and The bride is making a pot of tea. She's been drinking Green Tea for a while and basically, I'd rather have an ice cube melted in hot water.
I notice the box the tea came out of is green, and think nothing of it. Then she pours the water and a waft of Cardamom and Cloves mixed with other scents I couldn't readily identify comes across my nose. I ask "What's that?" She says "The Green Tea I bought last week, you were with me!"
Move ahead a few minutes to after I finished my coffee and I tried a cup of her Chai. WOW!!!
So last night I made a stronger pot than she makes and it was even better. I spent 2 hours reading about Chai while I was enjoying that and learned quite a bit, including that Chai should be drank sweetened and with milk.
I can read her mind though and she's thinking "Cigar sites, coffee sites, shaving sites and now Chai!! I wonder what this is going to cost us???"
So, tonight is a trip to a spice store to get some cinnamon stocks, Cardamom pods and some cloves. Chai Latte for dessert tonight Honey!!!!
Thanks to all who posted various info & links here (search worked great) and an apology to all who I chuckled at behind their backs for "Drinking Chai tea!!!"
